Yup, yup, yup.
You say one of them was a murderer? Well shit, he just ended someone's right to LIVE let alone read/view porn.
In my opinion it's only fair to make the accused go through the same, only difference is that they're alive.
But hey, if it makes you/them feel better, they can read Dr. Suess (okay I ddin't spell it right, but sound it out) books.
However, if it's a petty crime such as theft, I beleive literature that is boring and mundane is allowed.
I want them to realize prision is not a place they want to come back to once/if they get out.
If you give them (almost) free rights why wouldn't they just do what they did before and come back to a free day care center that lasts a few weeks/months?
